I say no, because on FC's side renewals will drop like bricks. Diamond status is a whole 'nother thing than that pass. It's a perfect thing to offer because you get great perks, but you're still not anywhere near the top tier (factoring in Aspirations). On Caesars side, Diamond is a way to get people in the door. "Come here and skip the lines AND the resort fee! Plus get $100 towards a fancy meal!" They want people to spend money, obviously, and with the shift in Vegas, offering this perk to FC members is a wise gamble. The win for them is many people who are gamblers have FC, and they know they are going to spend in their properties, too. You don't get a Founderscard to get Diamond and go across the street, other than to do a tier match.
